Plastics Reduction

Sodexo North America will eliminate single use plastic bags and stirrers by 2019, polystyrene foam items such as cups, lids and food containers by 2025, and shift straws to a “by request” item that will still be available to customers who need them while moving toward more sustainable materials.

“As a company serving consumers in universities, workplaces, hospitals, schools, stadiums and so many other venues, we understand both the potential impact we can make through a commitment to reduction and the real benefit that some of these products bring to people every day,” said Ted Monk, Vice President for Corporate Responsibility at Sodexo. “We believe there’s tremendous room for reducing waste without having a single person who uses our services feel like they are being excluded.”
